Template talk:French canton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Disambiguation

Hello. How can I make this template work with e.g. Canton of Wingles. It is in the Arrondissement "Lens", but Lens is a disambiguation page: the correct page page is Lens, Pas-de-Calais. Thanks! Ewlyahoocom 14:04, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Ewlyahoocom, and thanks for your feedback on the French canton template. I've made some changes to the template so that piped links can be more easily accommodated. I also updated the Canton of Wingles page to reflect the template changes. Kiwipete 21:39, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Inserting images?

in the fr:wikipedia, there's an image tag in the second spot and a footnote tag at the very bottom (for inserting a map).

Since there are fr:wikipedia maps available for all of Hérault, and I'd LOVE to work them into this template.

Any idea how to start? T L Miles 17:28, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Can you provide links to the fr:wikipedia template, and some examples of articles that use it? Kiwipete 08:00, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I was conflating The Canton Infobox template with the one for Groupe des communes and the proposed commune:

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mod%C3%A8le:Tableau_GroupeComm/notice

And

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussion_Mod%C3%A8le:Infobox_Commune_de_France

Are nice though, aren't they? I'm digging through cantons in Hérault (in fr:wiki), and while they have those nice maps, the usage of them seems random and messy, which is a shame. I suppose I'll just set up right align thumbs just below the infobox for consistency. If you have any advice, let me know. T L Miles 21:19, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
